Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are
42、 four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)To the cheering of taxi drivers and the honking of horns, the comedian and actor Eddie Izzard ran into London yesterday to complete his 43rd marathon in 52 days.
43、 In total he had covered 1,100 miles. His 43 marathons were in aid of the charity Sports Relief, which raises money for the poor all over the world. So far Izzard has raised more than 200,000. Fighting blisters (水疱) that have caused the nails on his smaller toes to fall off, he ran up The Mall and i
44、nto Trafalgar Square, where he had started 7.5 weeks ago. In finishing he proved what many thought was an impossible task: that a 47-year-old comedian with no sporting experience could do something a top athlete might find difficult. After only six weeks training he started out on a journey that wou
45、ld take him to every corner of the British Isles. “The first three weeks were the hardest,” he said. The non-stop pressure on his body made him unable to sleep at night and he would wake exhausted with “blisters on top of blisters”. But the people he met along the way cheered him up. “People stopped
46、 their cars and cheered, they gave me money and food.” More than 500,000 people “followed” the comedian, in a different sense, on Twitter. Running into London he looked lean and muscular. “Everyone says my legs look very good but I thought they looked quite good beforehand,” he said. Simon Blease, 5
47、1, a sports doctor and mountain runner who has been following his progress, was waiting on Tower Bridge. “I didnt think he could do it,” he said. “Like a lot of people I thought he would have a good try, but his body would break down. Someone with so little training. I find it extraordinary that he
48、has done it.” Asked what he had gained, Izzard said “I know now I can do that. Sport is one of those words that stopped being part of my life when I was about 14. Sporting success was not something I ever associated myself with.” He now plans to continue jogging and hopes to inspire others into spor
49、t.36. Which of the following statements is true about Eddie lzzard?A. He took part in 43 marathon competitions in 52 days.B. He was sponsored by Sports Relief in the runningC. He ran 1,100 miles for the purpose of helping the poor.D. He took the challenge to prove he could be a top athlete.37. What
50、difficulty did Eddie Izzard meet with during the running?A. Injury in his ankles.B. Sleeplessness at night.C. Pressure to win.D. Inadequate time.38. What does Simon Blease imply?A. He used to think Eddie would give up halfway.B. Training may not be necessary for marathon runners.C. Eddie was a good
51、model for others to follow.D. He owed Eddies success to his strong body.39. According to the passage, which of the following words can NOT describe Eddie Izzard?A. Humourous .B. PerseveringC. LovingD. Creative【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. D【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了喜剧演员Izzard通过跑马拉松的方式为贫困人群募款,并且讲述了他在进行训练时克服的种种困难,
52、如因为高强度训练导致脚趾上长满水泡等,同时他也希望能通过他的努力他能够影响更多的人参与到运动的环节中。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“complete his 43rd marathon in 52 days” Izzard是在52天内完成他的第43个马拉松比赛,而不是在52天内完成43个马拉松,故A项错误。同时在第一段提到“in aid of the charity Sports Relief, which raises money for the poor all over the world” Izzard参加这个活动是为了帮助Sports Relief进行募款,以帮助全球范围
53、内的穷人,而不是Sports Relief赞助他的活动。故B项错误。文章第一段提到“In total he had covered 1,100 miles.”在这项活动中Izzard最终完成了1100公里,为穷人募款。故C项正确。根据文章第二段第二句提到“In finishing he proved a top athlete might find difficult.”在活动的结尾,他证明了自己可以完成顶尖运动员都觉得困难的任务,而并非想要证明他是个顶尖运动员,故D项错误。故选C。【37题详解】细节理解题。文章第三段第三句提到“The non-stop pressure on his bod
54、y made him unable to sleep at night”无法停止下来的压力使得他无法在晚上睡着,也会因为“水泡上又长水泡”而疲倦地醒来。因此Izzard遇到的问题是在晚上无法睡着。故选B。【38题详解】推理判断题。文章第五段第二句提到“I didnt think he could do it,” he said. “Like a lot of people I thought he would have a good try, but his body would break down” Simon Blease认为Izzard不可能完成马拉松的比赛,因为他觉得可能跟很多人一样
55、,Izzard的身体吃不消这个高强度的训练,很有可能会半途放弃,故选A。【39题详解】推理判断题。A. Humourous . 幽默的,B. Persevering坚持不懈的,C. Loving博爱的,D. Creative有创造性的,文章第四段最后一句提到“Everyone says my legs”,每个人都觉得他又瘦又有肌肉,但是他却半开玩笑的说他之前的腿更好看,说明了他作为喜剧演员的幽默,故A项正确。文章第二段提到“where he had started 7.5 weeks ago. ”他只训练了7周半,但是却在47岁的年龄以一个喜剧演员的身份完成了专业运动员都觉得困难的任务,故B项
56、正确。文章第一段最后一句提到“So far Izzard has raised more than 200,000”,目前为止Izzard已经为穷人募集到20万欧元的善款,说明他是一个非常博爱的人,故C项正确。而文章并没有对“有创造性”这一点进行论述,故选D。(B)Read the following three posts from the website, , and answer the questions that follow.CJ, 31, social workerI wish I had given the plain-looking guys a second chance
57、while I was at school. I always went for handsome, athletic types. So, where am I today? Married to a good-looking fool.

65、d listened to my parents more when I was a teenager. Thinking back, I find they gave me lots of good advice, but I ignored everything they said.”在自己还是个青少年的时候,常常忽视了父母给他提供的很多好的建议,说明Ben在年轻时以为自己能够自己做决定。故选D。【42题详解】推理判断题。网站名字为“如果网”,同时结合文章内容可知,是网友分享了自己觉得后悔的事情。A. Greetings.问候,B. Regrets.遗憾,C. School life.学校
